<A NAME="X-REF300034866"></A><h1>Using wizards</h1>
<A NAME="TI245"></A><p>After you have created a workspace, you can add new or existing
targets to it. The first step in building a new PowerBuilder target
is to use a Target wizard to create the new target and name it. </p>
<A NAME="TI246"></A><h2>About wizards</h2>
<A NAME="TI247"></A><p>Wizards simplify
the initial creation of applications and components. Using your
specifications, wizards can create multiple objects and in some
cases automatically generate complex code that you can modify as
needed. The first page in most wizards explains what the wizard
builds. If you need help with the information you need to give the
wizard, click the Help [?] button in the upper right
corner of the window and then click the field you need help with,
or click the field and press F1.</p>
<A NAME="TI248"></A><p>You start wizards from the New dialog box, but not all the
icons in the New dialog box represent wizards. On the Project tab
page, there are two versions of some icons: one that starts a wizard,
and one that takes you straight to the Project painter.</p>
<A NAME="TI249"></A><p>Many wizards generate To-Do List entries to guide you through
the rest of the development of the application, object, or component.
See <A HREF="pbugp13.htm#CAICEGHE">"Using the To-Do List"</A>.</p>
<A NAME="TI250"></A><h2>Related wizard types</h2>
<A NAME="TI251"></A><p>Some of the wizards on the Target, PB Object, and Project
tabs are related. For example, if you want to develop and deploy <ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> components, you can use
the following:</p>
<A NAME="TI252"></A><p><A NAME="TI253"></A>
<ul>
<li class=fi><b><ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> Component
Target wizard</b>   To create a new target, a new custom class user object, and
the project object needed to generate the <ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> component
and deploy the component to <ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM></li>
<li class=ds><b><ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> Component
Object wizard</b>   To create a new custom class user object in an existing EAServer
component target and create the project object</li>
<li class=ds><b><ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> Component
Project wizard</b>   To create a project object that will generate an <ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> component from one or
more existing custom class user objects 
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<A NAME="TI254"></A><p>For <ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM> components
and applications, you might also want to use the Connection Object
wizard, which builds a standard nonvisual user object, inherited
from the Connection object. Selections in this wizard allow you
to set properties for connecting to <ACRONYM title = "E A Server" >EAServer</ACRONYM>.</p>
